May be overthinking it a bit, the typical opportunistic thief that would try to snatch a phone and run is just looking to see what bank apps you have installed. Usually they are looking to see if you have something like Venmo installed so they can go into your app and send themselves your money. Venmo of course will say that money was transferred from your phone so it was clearly you and there's nothing to dispute, hence you're fucked.

These type of thieves already know to try to keep the screen unlocked long enough to do that, afterwards they usually just toss the phone somewhere. The phone hardware itself isn't that useful while it's still locked down and tied to someone's Google/Apple account, most phones are firmware locked in that fashion. Sure they could wait it out until you finally remove the phone from your Google/Apple account but every time they check it'll keep giving out their location, not really worth it.

Nowadays current Android phones do have theft protection to prevent loss in a snatch attempt e.g. my Android has settings to auto lock it if it detects fast movement while unlocked, and it also auto locks if the entire phone itself has been set offline/airplane mode for a while.

Almost never, maybe once a year if that.

But I do consistently drop brand new phones within the first 3 months of owning it. Usually on concrete. Not intentionally of course.. yet for some reason it's happened to me every single time.

Opt-in might work. But thinking more about it, not sure if it would be too much of a headache to manage.. I'd think you may end up having to moderate what actually shows up publicly on the site else you end up with the sorts of questions/answers that the other commenter mentioned.

So does it ever tell you what the jury verdict is? I've done like 12 answers and there's no visible confirmation that there were other people answering the same question let alone what the final verdict was. Kind of kills the vibe, was hoping I'd at least see what the other random anonymous jurors responded to the same question(s).

Also would be more interesting if the site would publicly show the questions/verdicts as they come in. (assuming the person submitting the question is okay with it showing up publicly on the site)

Not a part of either community but I'd guess russian would be easier, assuming you've actually spent time to immerse yourself in russian culture/language/etc. Then again if you grew up with the general american upbringing and culture you may as well hang out with whoever you want, there's no need to specifically search out a group of people if your life has been american culture up to now.

For what it's worth back in my college days my old roommate was half black half korean. He really, really wanted to blend in with the koreans and other asians at the school but truth is most of the foreign students tended to avoid him. The asians that did hang around with him were the type that wanted to meet and hang out with americans and weren't being picky about culture and whatnot.

The (now divorced) couple do have 2 kids so those genes will continue existing well into the future.

Still not sure I entirely believe the story but there are a few other mentions with a bit more details

This is literally what happens when you let a nazi drink at your bar.

TIL DOOM flipped around turns into WOOD, LOL.

In Rimworld it could be either of those situations LOL.

Hopefully that's not something you've been running into during moderation.
